Survival in sepsis

SAMD9 · rs34896991

What the study found

Who was studied 506 European ancestry survivors, 181 European ancestry non-survivors; replicated in 712 European ancestry survivors, 650 European ancestry non-survivors, 411 African American survivors, 290 African American non-survivors.

The effect Each copy of the T allele carried 1.64 times the odds of Survival in sepsis (95% confidence interval 1.37-6.78); p = 5 × 10−8.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 2% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 7, band 7q21.2 — a missense change in SAMD9.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Survival in sepsis. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Survival in sepsis. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Survival in sepsis. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs34896991

What is rs34896991?

rs34896991 is a single position in the genome, in or near the SAMD9 gene. Published research associates it with survival in sepsis. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs34896991 mean I will get this?

No. Common variants like this one move a probability slightly and, on their own, rarely decide anything about one person. Nothing on this page is a diagnosis, and health decisions should be made with a clinician who can see your whole picture.

Where does the information about rs34896991 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Critical care (London, England) 2022, PMID:36335405. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
